Huge blow for Barça

Hit in an ankle during FC Barcelona’s victory over Celta Vigo (3-2) on Saturday evening, Frenkie de Jong is out for several weeks.

Very bad news for Barça. If the Blaugrana beat Celta Vigo (3-2) after a crazy end to the match, Saturday evening in La Liga, they lost Frenkie de Jong to injury.

After the meeting, the Catalan club gave news of its Dutch midfielder. “Tests carried out this evening showed that Frenkie De Jong suffers from an injury to the distal tibio-peroneal syndesmosis of the right ankle. He is forfeited and his return will depend on his progress”Barça indicated in a press release published on social networks.

Frenkie de Jong is expected to be out of action for a minimum of five weeks. He should therefore miss the Clasico against Real Madrid, scheduled for October 28.
